[@dhldls1396]

not your game, *you* suck

[@NeostormXLMAX]

can you type without looking at your keyboard?

[@KaraokeNig]

I can't

[@Frawt]

Bene Learn to, then. It's a very useful skill.

[@AIRpursuit]

dat left hand looks like it has broken fingers....

[@Hojunhu]

I'd like to thank Jaedong for teaching me the real way to hit the control key.

[@kalalit]

I'm looking at the left hand the whole time and it's beginning to look like a completely separate creature with a life of its own.

[@cotty9749]

[@davidangel64]

why the sigh? out of breath from this awesome video?

[@burningchakra0000]

2 years later, I still wonder why his F1 is missing.

[@Gardise]

In SC:BW F1 was the hotkey to the help menu.

[@ofearth7749]

Its because he hit it so hard that it broke

[@IcarusOne100]

I think the F1 key by default selects the whole army. the pros don't use it though because they need to micro mutiple groups of army to play effectively at highest level. So he just removed it. Removes the temptation.

[@Maxwell-rb5ri]

is that sarcasm? I can't tell srry there was never a a key that selects the whole army in SC or SC BW...

[@IcarusOne100]

sorry F1 select idle workers. F2 selects whole army. No sarcasm.

what is APM ?

[@TisDeKenny]

1:01 gotcha screen footage mate gonna get that police

[@MisterMackem]

It's a Leopold FC700R and the switches are Browns not Black. If you look very closely, the switch ENCLOSURE is black yes, but the actual switches are brown.

[@xxdreamsxx100]

Jaedong... a true keyboard warrior.

[@Nepicanezzar]

Love how he took off the F1 key and windows key, probably to help stop him from hitting them on accident

[@Grifering]

Playing SC2 with no f1 key is hardcore

[@Sakuner]

Thats not SC2 :D

[@Rasmorak]

Brood War

[@ocamposmichaea3752]

Actually it was SC2 you can see in 1:01 look the monitor you see that control things that is litteraly SC2

[@boratsuckdiev461]

He's right it actually is SC2. But I'm sure it's his habit transferred from playing Brood War.

[@amegatron07]

F1 could be rebond to another key, while F2 still actively used by default for selecting army - who knows?

[@jepl11]

how is that keyboard so clean

[@corehazard4709]

cause he got clean hands?

[@corehazard4709]

Stewart Adams are we funny again? there is no blue rice, dont worry 'bout that.

[@Satanic_Jesus]

Probably because he looks after it (I mean, it's like tradies who don't look after their tools, probably not very good tradies). That and it's a Leopold keyboard, very good quality, so it shouldn't stain/discolour as easily

[@hawktrap]

they clean keyboards pretty often. that's a leopold keyboard. that thing cost like 200 for a keyboard. also, that one is custom made. so they taking care them well. use same keyboard every single day. 12 hours for a day. that keyboard is weapon. if broken? they have to use other keyboard. can you imagine how unfamiliar that is??

[@Satanic_Jesus]

Andrew moore Not quite that much. I don't think leopolds are terribly expensive in Korea since it's a Korean brand, I think you can find them for about $130au on Ebay from a Korean seller, which I think is a pretty fair price for a keyboard like that

[@sighisoaraa]

Is he playing Sims?

[@Jomster777]

lol, APM in Sims

[@zefanyalt5944]

Yeah,because handling those needs for the sim is kinda a bitch lol

[@wildwest1832]

In his prime he is playing this game like 10+ hours a day so yeah hes super human at this. The limit of what a human can achieve.

[@thatjoshguy4542]

Not just any human can achieve this

[@Vejtable]

A custom keyboard, without the F1 key - very commonly used in SC2 for camera hotkeying ad other things - and with no lettering on any keys besides the two he bought himself... that is literally the furthest thing from generic. Since JD moved to EG, he has to use their sponsor's equipment, in this case Razer. So he uses the DeathAdder Ultimate. Flashy lights, extra features galore, and the ironic part? A much more "generic" keyboard than the one in this video.

[@exzisd]

That is crazy. Looks like his hands are having spasms!!!! Imagine how quick he could do your homework :P

[@empressqi1722]

Mandoreen I imagine him doing different things rather

[@moletrapSC2]

Actually, the coaches forbade me from taking any footage of the screen.

[@HDBroesl]

He most likely uses it as a screen hotkey, which are f5-f8 per default, but ofc you can change those

[@zeno3380]

that fingers played alot of games dude.....

[@zeno3380]

ooooooohhh yeah!

[@ExteriorLikeFishEggs]

They're browns, a bit hard to see in the video due to the lighting, but they are indeed, brown. The FC 700R doesn't have a MX Black version, anyways.

[@mariosavage1]

the question is...which is faster melee or this?

[@dhldls1396]

lol I play both and I gotta say it's a tie.

[@kagedame]

The f1 key is missing because he havnt bound anything to it and he have f2 to something really important, Sc gamers usually remove the keys next to an important key so they do not miss press it. each player have their own setup and choice of removed keys, some more than others

[@destrauk7099]

Love jaedong he is the best zerg ever.

[@idontlikeyahoo]

it's because in brood war, f1 is the pause button and if any players press it during the game, they are automatically disqualified

[@TheEricon]

what is that keyboard? names? links? i like that white keyboard :)

[@gostraelkyrial]

+TheEricon its a leopold, FC700R iirc

[@Logomachus]

Actually it does have letters, you just can't see them from that angle with the camera, they're laser engraved, not printed in the normal fashion so it's harder to tell.

[@eduardofernandes7889]

Not if you keep doing this for too long without breaks

[@naparcasc]

f1 is missing because it brings up the help menu. also they need the f2,f3,etc keys to navigate trough different screen locations

[@cf0zzyf]

Anyone knows the keyboard? the name... pls

[@mager74200]

It's probably similar to the CM Storm Rapid keyboard. All I can think of.

[@heime1990]

I can beat someone with 100-120 apm (btw my apm is 50-80) but when i go against someone with 200-220 apm He abuses me by attacking multiple location with his

[@IronwillTR]

double or triple tapping records as apm,it shouldn't count those spams.Real men play fast without tapping more than once

[@MisterL2_yt]

Imperius double tab puts your screen at that location

[@Xnothen]

Imperius i agree , i think you should 1 vs 1 jaedong and put money where your mouth is .

[@heime1990]

Xnothen the point of apm video is how easy and fluid is pro gamers multitasking and reaction in games. its not how they spam a keys several times. as they have said, its for warm up their hands remember how slower sc2 became when they participated in sc2 beta well.. even though they play sc in incredible speed, they still think this game is too slow

[@Xnothen]

heime1990 the moment your sarcasm is so good that they thought you were being serious -_-"

[@feliicimo]

The F1 key was the pause key in BW and if you paused as an accident without warning you could get disqualified from the tournament.

[@ExteriorLikeFishEggs]

They're MX Brown - Jaedong sold this specific Leopold keyboard (signed) for 250,000 ₩ in December 2012.

[@andymc17]

they use the other F keys and don't want to hit the F1 key by accident when going so fast. They also removed the Windows key at the bottom for the same reason.

[@Stalast.]

Because it doesn't have a numpad, also the bezel around the edges is thin, the keycaps will be the same size as your keycaps. It's small for a reason, so minimize desk space so that you can allow for more room for mouse movement on low sensitivity.

[@martineskerud]

It's removed because in sc:bw it was hotkey for help menu, you couldn't rebind keys in BW, and since nobody wanted to hit that on accident, it was removed, f2 through 4 was location hotkeys, which were more important.

[@Might572]

@Christian Edström yes and also starcraft. They go hand in hand.

[@digita1ove]

there's a channel called just moletrap, this video was posted from moletrapSC2, so my guess would be SC2

[@richynarf]

Thanks for bring us the footage! :)

[@Jctankk]

it's not a miniature keyboard, it's called a tenkeyless keyboard, look it up. it's a keyboard without a num pad which allows for the mouse hand to be closer to the keyboard hand

[@Wadefin]

Mouse is Logitech G9/G9x, but he uses it without the grip. Keyboard is a tenkeyless leopold keyboard.

[@matthiasreichinger2749]

in this whole clip he builds 12 drones 1 overlord a hatch and a spawning pool, i´m impressed :)

[@Olebola]

you have to love a 28 seconds commercial before a 2 minutes video.....

[@BrendanBeckett]

Jaedong controlling a huge army of hydras, zerglings, brood lords, infestors, swarm hosts, and vipers all in concert will be a beautiful thing.

[@gugl21000]

@3Carnifex - BroodWar singles competition is officially done with, in Korea, once the tVing OSL is over. The finals are on Avgust 4th in 18h, Korean time- you could sync your time with theirs by googling:'what time is it in Korea?'. There is talk of a Chinese individual league in BroodWar similar to the OSL, but I don't know if anyone will be able to cast those, or if they will be available on youtube, or any other stream for that matter.

[@RobertN734]

There are letters, the white balance is just so bad they are obscured. Watch the left shift key as his hand passes over it. The shadow makes the word barely visible.

[@zeththedarkmage]

Because in SC2 you only use f2-5 for moving the camera to different spots on the map. F1 isn't needed and it's a wasted button press if he accidentally press it.

[@PhillMercure]

I love how the F1 and "Windows" key are taken off :P

[@w0rm45]

I need to do the same thing with the F1 key.

[@TheNorris17]

yes moletrap!! i love these first person views. Couldnt get enough of the ones artosis made back when there were a load of foreigners trying to get into code A. Keep em up!!

[@JoeWong81]

His left hand looks like in the Aliens movie series where the baby spider alien that comes out of the egg to attatch to humans faces

[@x6xk1LLx9x]

He, along with most recent brood war switch overs are very use to using the f2-f4 keys for location hotkeys. In brood war hotkeys can't be rebinded and f1 opens a help menu, similar to the one found in the f9 key(?) on sc2 and you would remove your f1 key so that you don't hit it by accedent.

[@Karmoon7]

Notice how everyone in the thread said 'remove', not 'disable'. They're not removing it because they can't disable it. If it's not physically there, you remove basically all chance to press it instead of that vital control key. :)

[@Aleteh]

Once you press down a key on a mechanical keyboard, you will be instantly hooked on that feel, like its morphine.

[@rtc7788]

You can clearly see the switches in the video, and theyre not blue.

[@nexes1337]

oke lisen , they are indeed browns , but yes leopold does have blacks , if you google leopold fc700r the first site instantly shows that they sell ones with black switches so yeah theres that..

[@xbirthxbyxsleepx]

In BW, the F1 key would bring up a really annoying help tab. Most pros used F2/3/4/etc for location hotkeys, so to avoid pressing F1 all the time, they removed it.

[@TheSwagSociety]

I highly doubt it, considering we're watching a video of Jaedong.

[@SmokerFace12]

Should check out my 31 apm while clicking in single player mode, its almost the same.

[@WhiteChrist83]

after years of determination he actually was able to turn it into a second index finger

[@dailysolve]

He is probably used to the Brood war hotkeys where F2, F3, and F4 were the sceen hotkeys and didn't want to accidentally hit F1 and not go anywhere. Progamers use the F keys often as their bases so if you saw a drop coming and you hit the F1 key by accident and don't go straight to the drop, that could be a lot of workers killed...

[@devastator06]

put it this way. everyday i wake up, i thank the divine power that i am not you

[@piklejoose]

You don't NEED the letters to type, it just makes it easier for people who are bad at typing/new to a keyboard

[@moletrapSC2]

I don't see anywhere where I put an emphasis on APM in terms of skill. Way to call me out for something I didn't do. GREAT FUCKING JOB!

[@lamynatorr]

He works with OGN now, so he's probably only doing LoL until they expand to SC2 in English and stuff, which will probably be very soon

[@gugl21000]

@moletrap - dayumn shame, Jimmy! But keep up the good work! It would be nice if you could get your hands on some of the vods from the prelims! Cheers!

[@NtelosCity]

imagine the problems he will have in his fingers when he becomes old and how they are going to tremble also the calories are very very very less that those you loose from normal excercises

[@acidthumbs]

love seeing stuff like this. thanks man keep it up =)

[@winuxworx]

he removed the other keys so he doesn't accidentally press them

[@Abs9106]

well drg and losira are ofcourse at the "top" level. its just that they have extra time between actions so they just spam a lil bit to keep the momentum going all the time.

[@silencioseu]

is that a terran symbol on his escape button? Awesome keyboard and key caps, i wonder what his keyboard is

[@MisterMackem]

@TheMetaphorR It's the white Leopold FC700R

[@rockgollem]

In engagements (or even in just non-engage situations), APM matters alot because that means you're seleting those units faster, moving/attacking/dividing faster, using that spell/ability whatever faster, micro and macro better and so forth. APM isn't just for show and there's reason why higher level players tend to have much better APM than lower leaguers.

[@AFGalwayz]

the right side of the keyboard feels so neglected

[@asdfsson1222]

Insane mechanics :O.. perfect control of using shift with his ring finger, attack command with pinky and half palm/pinky on ctrl

[@funzjake]

Moletrap where did you go? I haven't heard you cast a tournament for like this entire year:????

[@lYakuzal]

Leopold fc700r. Very good korean quality keyboard with mx brown switches. Costs about $130. Though, if you prefer very light key presses, I wouldn't suggest this keyboard to you.

[@lilchinboi]

I think people are overlooking how the mouse is about to break under his hand

[@moletrapSC2]

Might be hard to see in the vid, but I remember noticing they were browns when I was standing behind him.

[@Leidenspfad]

F1 was a menu button in Brood War and F2-4 were camera positions. So you accidentally hit F1 alot, since the camera positions were more crucial in BW tha they are in SC2.

[@moletrapSC2]

His escape key is a picture of a tee shirt and says "Korea" I think..

[@hookyelyak]

how does his fingers don't get cramps from this weird stand

[@jefftheworld]

Disabling it is fine, I'm sure he's done that as well but by removing the keycap he knows when he's hit the wrong key and can hit the key he meant to hit.

[@x6xk1LLx9x]

Yes, jaedong is making probes.

[@eLNacHoO12]

I dont know why the F1 key is missing, but they took out the Windows Key, because most gaming keyboard should have such a gaming mode when you turn it on, the Windows key turns off. Seems like that keyboard dont had an gaming mode. You dont need the Windows Key for playing games and you can turn it off with a gaming mode so you dont press it acidently while playing and going on Desktop while you're ingame.

[@projectjt3149]

how many years do you think it takes starcraft players like jaedong to get an APM that high

[@jret65541]

Left hand looks like a spider doing a mating dance

[@aNamelessDread]

Losira and DRG spam their hot keys quite a bit (and there's nothing wrong with that) but that makes it look like more is going on then is actually the case. From this video it looks as though Jaedong isn't spamming his keyboard hand at least at all.

[@r1ght_n0w]

It depends on what language you are "translating it into", in english the correct sound is "K", spanish is "C", can't really talk about other languages since I do not know them, If we were really to call koreans how they really are called in their own language it would be 한국 (han-guk/g, not sure about the romanization of some korean words)

[@hellotomeyay]

it's the window key which you don't need and if you click on it by mistake well it's quite annoying but it could cost him the finales for example which would suck.

[@wespalladini]

Preference. This keyboard might not be targeted at gamers but it is still a quality mechanical keyboard that costs around $120. I have the same one and I like it because it is small (no numpad) so my hands/arms could be closer together, it saves a lot of space on my desk, and it is not glossy so it wont leave fingerprints like the Razer Blackwidow or Das keyboard. Also I don't think you can use any macro keys in SC tournaments if your keyboard is capable of doing them.

[@physch4u]

actually it can just be disabled in settings if it becomes a problem for some players, no biggie

[@LokNarash]

they take out the keys that they never use and might have adverse effect on the game (see that he took out the windows key so he cannot inadvertently minimize starcraft) - but I don't know what F1 did in SC1
